About our glazing silicone in Thomshill
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and rooflights, and people most often call us about failed joints on frameless glass and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Thomshill depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.

Thomshill homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Rented homes near Elgin station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Elgin High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near Birnie Kirk, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Should I try DIY first?

Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
